"This is my Pill King Island's best pill tea, it can cleanse the impurities in your body and improve your physique."
This was a teahouse on the mountainside of Pill King Island. On the top floor of the teahouse, Ye Chen and the Spirit Pill King sat by the window, chatting while drinking tea. Outside the teahouse, spirit clouds and pill clouds floated like a gorgeous sea of clouds.
"Good tea!"
Ye Chen took a sip and felt that his internal organs were much more comfortable, and the pores on his skin had relaxed.
"Spirit Pill King, thank you for what you did before!" Putting down the teacup, Ye Chen expressed his gratitude.
"No problem, if a few million top grade spirit stones can make friends with a genius like you, I would have made a profit." The Spirit Pill King poured another cup for Ye Chen.
"You flatter me."
"I'm not flattering you. Originally, I thought Xuanhou would be the most outstanding person in this era, but I didn't expect another person like you to appear. If it was only her, the possibility of clearing the path to death would only be ten to twenty percent, but now with the two of you, it's more than seventy percent."
The Spirit Pill King sighed.
"By the way, do you need more top grade spirit tree culture liquid?" The Spirit Pill King asked.
Ye Chen said: "I have a three thousand year old fire pear tree, I want to cultivate it to the top grade."
"Fortunately, I still have one year old top grade spirit tree culture liquid, and its effect is better than yours. It can increase it by four thousand years in one year, I'll give it to you!"
The Spirit Pill King waved his right hand and an exquisite wooden barrel appeared on the ground next to the table.
"I don't deserve it, this gift is too much."
Ye Chen shook his head. This was an item worth tens of millions of supreme grade spirit stones. Even if it was a gift from others, he couldn't accept it. If it was just a small gift, it wouldn't be a problem.
The Spirit Pill King said, "Top quality spirit stones are just a number to me, and it is the same for you. Not to mention, when your Fire Pear Tree grows to the top quality level, you can give me more Fire Pears. Top quality Fire Pears are good materials for refining pills."
Seeing that Ye Chen still didn't want to accept it, the Spirit Pill King smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have something to ask of you."
"Go ahead."
Ye Chen nodded.
"I have a grandson called Yan Jianhui, fourteen years old this year. Although he lives on Pill King Island, he doesn't want to become an alchemist. Instead, he's infatuated with sword arts. Originally, I wanted to send him to Sky Sword Continent and have him join either Blue Cloud Sword Sect or Snowflake Sword Sect. However, Sky Sword Continent is too far away, and it's not convenient to go there. And now, I've heard that you've entered Life and Death Realm. Therefore, I've always wanted him to become your disciple. I don't have any other intentions.
The Spirit Pill King looked at Ye Chen with hope. He didn't think that just because he gave Ye Chen a small favor, Ye Chen would agree to anything. After all, who would be willing to accept someone they weren't satisfied with as a disciple?
"Okay, sure. Take me to see him first."
Ye Chen decided that if Yan Jianhui's sword dao talent was not bad, then he would accept him as a disciple. If it was really bad, then he would be powerless.
Yan Jianhui's residence was not luxurious. It was a small lakeside house. When the two arrived, they saw a youngster practicing sword arts on a lotus flower. His sword arts were elegant and sharp. Sometimes, it was like a small grass sprouting, sometimes it was like the reflection of water, sometimes it was like a spring breeze, and sometimes it was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
"I'll accept this disciple."
Ye Chen was excited. This Yan Jianhui's sword arts were even more spirited than his little brother Ye Xuan's. He was definitely a sword dao genius.
"Accept?"
The Spirit Pill King didn't have much understanding of sword dao, so he couldn't tell whether Yan Jianhui had potential in this aspect or not. After all, he was only thirteen years old and was still in the initial stage of development. No matter how good his sword arts were, they were just child's play in his eyes.
"Yes."
Ye Chen revealed a faint smile.
After a set of sword arts, Yan Jianhui noticed the Spirit Pill King and Ye Chen and said excitedly: "Grandpa, he is Ye Chen?"
"What Ye Chen? Ye Chen? From today onwards, he is your master."
The Spirit Pill King shouted.
"Master?"
Yan Jianhui was still a little confused.
The Spirit Pill King scolded: "Fool, your master has already agreed to accept you as a disciple. You are his first disciple, why are you not kowtowing?"
Yan Jianhui's face turned red. He quickly jumped to the lakeside and knelt in front of Ye Chen. "Disciple Yan Jianhui greets master."
"Get up!"
Ye Chen helped Yan Jianhui up. A master was like a parent, so there was nothing wrong with accepting this kowtow.
At this moment, Yan Jianhui still didn't believe it. A few months ago, he had only casually mentioned it to his grandpa. He didn't expect that he would really become Ye Chen's disciple today. It should be known that some of the masters who had taught him sword arts said that the number one sword art genius in this era was none other than Ye Chen. Even in the ancient era, Ye Chen was a sword art genius that could be counted on one's fingers.
Ye Chen said solemnly: "I have never accepted a disciple. You are my first disciple. As the eldest disciple, not only must you set an example, you must also train diligently. You cannot slack off in the slightest."
"Yes, disciple understands."
Yan Jianhui said seriously.
"On the first day of next month, you go to True Spirit Continent's Ye family. During this period of time, do everything you need to do." Ye family was tens of millions of li away from Pill King Island. Not returning for several years was normal.
Saying goodbye to the Spirit Pill King, Ye Chen flew toward True Spirit Continent.
…
As soon as he came back, Ye Chen refined the extreme grade Yuan Increasing Pellet, which increased his cultivation by another fifty years, reaching one thousand one hundred and thirty years.
And he had only reached Life and Death Realm half a year ago.
"Two years of top-grade spirit tree culture fluid. One portion can increase the tree's maturity by three thousand five hundred years, and the other can increase the tree's maturity by four thousand years. Altogether, it is seven thousand five hundred years, which is enough to cultivate the Fire Pear Tree into a ten-thousand-year top-grade spirit tree. However, watering the Fire Pear Tree every day is also a troublesome thing."
Sometimes, Ye Chen would go into closed-door training for ten days to half a month. Sometimes, he would be so immersed in his sword training that he would lose track of time. So, it would be impossible to water the tree every day.
"Let Ye An do this!"
Ye An was a side branch disciple of Ye family. His sword art talent was ordinary, but he was very hardworking. He would not complain about anything. A while ago, Ye Chen had his eyes on him and asked him to go to the Spirit Cloud Mountain to take care of some errands for him. When he was free, he would teach him some basic sword arts, helping him build a good foundation.
Ye An was very attentive to the things Ye Chen asked him to do. He knew that his talent was not good, and he was also a side branch disciple. If nothing unexpected happened, he would at most be a normal attendant of the Ye family. However, he had caught the eye of Ye Chen. Ye Chen was the number one sword art genius in the outside world, but in the Ye family, he was like a god. Not to mention a side branch disciple like him, even a lot of geniuses of the Ye family would want to follow him. Because of this, a lot of people were envious of him. Some of the people who used to look down on him had now changed their attitudes.
After leaving the cultivation fluid to Ye An, Ye Chen calmed down and continued to study the sword move, Merciless Water and Fire.
As the Fire Emperor's ultimate skill, Merciless Water and Fire was very difficult to cultivate, let alone turning it into a sword art. Not only did Ye Chen have to work hard to fuse the water and fire esoteric, he also had to create a sword move that could accommodate the two opposing esoteric. Fortunately, he had reached the eighteenth level of the Sword Realm and had seen thousands of sword arts. Each sword art contained a trace of sword art essence, which saved Ye Chen a lot of time to study.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Boom!
An aquamarine flaming sword light swept out, and a row of huge rocks was burned into nothingness. A large crack appeared in the space, and the edges melted into crystals.
"Finally, small success."
Merciless Water and Fire contained the water esoteric and fire esoteric. The color was the color of water, and the form was the form of fire. After reaching small success, it became an aquamarine flame.
Don't look down on this aquamarine flame. Just a trace of it was enough to blast a mountain into pieces. It was very domineering.
"I wonder if my eldest disciple has sparred with Ye Xuan?"
During this one month, the Spirit Dan King personally brought Yan Jianhui to the Ye Family. After the ceremony, Yan Jianhui officially became Ye Chen's first disciple.
Perhaps it was because their ages were similar, but Ye Xuan and Yan Jianhui were a little unconvinced and often found opportunities to spar.
However, Ye Xuan was older by one or two years, and he was often taught by Ye Chen. In their first spar, Yan Jianhui couldn't even take a single sword strike and was defeated in a very embarrassing manner.
Ye Chen found it funny, and according to Yan Jianhui's style, he chose a Spring Wind Rain Sword Art for him to practice. He also explained a little so that Yan Jianhui could understand the essence of the Spring Wind Rain Sword Art.
With Ye Chen's guidance, Yan Jianhui wasn't as embarrassed as the first time, but it was still very difficult for him to take a few moves from Ye Xuan. This made him understand that within one or two years, it would be very difficult for him to surpass Ye Xuan. Moreover, Ye Xuan had killed people before, so his sword art was much more murderous than his.
Sure enough, in a flat area of the Spirit Cloud Peak, Yan Jianhui and Ye Xuan were sparring again, and Ye Xiaoxiao was' teaching 'from the side.
"Xiaohui, use your Continuous Drizzle to attack him. Sigh, it's Continuous Drizzle, not Torrential Rain."
Ye Xiaoxiao had a look of defeat on her face.
"Don't blindly join in the fun."
Ye Chen walked over and knocked Ye Xiaoxiao's head.
Holding her head, Ye Xiaoxiao said proudly, "With my guidance, Xiaohui can already take five moves."
"This is Ye Xuan going easy on him! Otherwise, we won't be able to play anymore. "
Ye Chen sized up the two people on the field. In terms of style, Yan Jianhui was more agile. Every move he made seemed to be made by nature. However, compared to Ye Xuan, he wasn't flexible enough, and neither was he sharp enough. Any random sword attack from Ye Xuan would be able to hit his weak points.
"Jianhui, the essence of the Spring Breeze Rain Sword Art is the word 'transform', not the spring breeze and rain. If you want to master this sword art, you must know how to change. Don't rigidly adhere to the form."
Ye Chen said.
Yan Jianhui had the root of wisdom. Hearing Ye Chen's words, his sword art suddenly changed, becoming more ordinary. When Ye Xuan's sword art attacked, he would immediately change into the spring breeze, neutralizing his opponent's attack. When his opponent's old force had dissipated, he would change into the drizzle again, continuously attacking his opponent. Ye Xuan was caught off guard and was forced to retreat.
Ding!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and waved his sword, knocking away the treasured sword in Yan Jianhui's hand. That sword was one of Ye Xuan's ultimate moves. Normally, he would only use ordinary moves to spar with Yan Jianhui.
Compared to Ye Xuan, Yan Jianhui was still lacking. He needed some time to convert his talent into strength.
